Roy Hodgson admitted he had a dilemma on his hands after the England manager's attacking selection crisis deepened following the 4-0 win over Moldova in World Cup qualifying.
.
England moved to the top of European qualifying Group H on goal difference above Montenegro after sweeping past Ion Caras's side at Wembley on Friday, but victory came at a price.
.
Manchester United forward Danny Welbeck, who claimed a sweetly taken double, was shown a yellow card that rules him out of Tuesday's key trip to Ukraine, who trail England by a point.
.
With Wayne Rooney and Andy Carroll unavailable due to injury and Daniel Sturridge likely to miss out with a thigh problem, it leaves Hodgson with Rickie Lambert and Jermain Defoe as his only fit strikers.
.
Lambert at least is taking to international football well, having scored his second goal in two games with a first-half header, but Hodgson was angry about the circumstances that led to Welbeck's first- half booking.
.
The 22-year-old was cautioned for making an attempt at goal after the whistle had gone for offside and Hodgson felt that Slovakian referee Ivan Kruzliak reached for his card too quickly.
.
"I don't think there will be too many people, even among the refereeing fraternity, who will say that was a clear yellow card," Hodgson told journalists at his post-game press conference.
.
"A 40-yard sprint, a ball that arrives on your foot, a split-second between the whistle blowing and the shot, a team (Moldova) that's already been wasting time from the very first minute, so they'd have been delighted to see the ball going behind the goal...
.
"You'll have to work very, very hard to persuade me that in the rules of the game, that was a yellow card."
.
Hodgson added: "He's got a yellow card, he's out of the game. We'll live with it, we'll deal with it, but did I think it was a yellow card, did I think it was a correct decision? No, I didn't."
The 4 goals to nil win is a brilliant achievement for England as a country. They've got good players!
